Characterization of mechanochemically synthesized imidazolates of Ag+1, Zn+2, Cd+2, and Hg+2: Solid state reactivity of nd10 cations

Protonic Conductivity of Nanocrystalline Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8

“…This absorption band can be assigned to the N-H---H hydrogen bond formed between the pyrrole group and the pyridinic nitrogen. [25][26]The resonance between the N−H···N out-of-plane bending and the N−H stretching vibrations is observedat 1845 cm -1 in the Hmim spectrum. [25][26] Both of these bands are absent in the ZIF8 samples, confirming the formation of imidazolates, also apparent in the shifting of the CH bending signal from 1112 cm -1 to 1143 cm -1 .…”

“…[15,[24][25][27][28] The band at 1581 cm -1 is due to the C=N stretching mode, while bands observed between 1350 and 1500 cm -1 are associated with the vibration of the ring. [24]Bands in the range of 900-1350 cm -1 are assigned to the in-plane bending of the imidazole ring, whereas the peaksbelow 800 cm -1 are normally caused by out-of-plane bending of the ring.…”

Mechanochemical preparation of copper iodide clusters of interest for luminescent devices

“…26,29 The quest of suitable methods to obtain crystals for structure determination of copper complexes led us to explore different crystallization processes, including those based on solvothermal synthesis. Recently, several zeolites, commonly obtained by solvothermal synthesis, have been produced also by grinding or ball milling, [30][31][32][33] which suggests that the solid state reactions can have several aspects in common with solvothermal conditions. 25 Although, for large scale preparations, nowadays researchers try to move from solvothermal to solvent-free reactions in order to reduce their environmental impact and energy consumption, solvothermal synthesis can still be exploited to obtain single crystals of the desired compounds since the high-temperature and high-pressure environments conditions created would facilitate the crystallization process of complexes with poor solubility.…”

Reaction of imidazole in gas phase at very low pressure with Cu foil and Cu oxides studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy

“…10 Fernandez-Bertran et al have carried out the mechanochemical synthesis of cuprous imidazolate as well as other transition metal imidazolates by milling imidazole with the oxides. 11,12 Normally, protection of the Cu foil is carried out by dipping the foil into a solution of the active azole. This procedure affords a large concentration of the reagent, which can polymerize to cover the Cu surface completely.…”
